Organising for someone else?

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Strettington
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and office Christmas parties.
In winter near Strettington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
